The Witcher 4 Is Rumored to Release in May 2028

This summer, CD Projekt RED confirmed that The Witcher 4, the next game in the saga, will release in 2028. That is the window the developers are aiming for, though plans can always change. Meanwhile, a recent update to a job listing may point to a specific month.

CD Projekt RED has posted a job opening for a “Legal Counsel.” The role covers business and intellectual property matters and legal support for the studio’s operations, including reviewing materials, drafting user agreements, communicating with players, and more. Most interesting is that the work contract runs until April 30, 2028. So the position may be tied to the marketing campaign for The Witcher 4, which would end shortly before the contract does.

This could hint that The Witcher 4 is planned for May 2028. Other games in the series also came out in May: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on May 17, 2011, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on May 19, 2015. Statistics may not matter much here, but the detail shouldn’t be dismissed.

The Witcher 4 won the “Most Wanted Game” at the recent 2026 Golden Joystick Awards. CDPR production director Małgorzata Mitręga, who attended the show, said shortly after the win that the team feels a huge sense of responsibility and is working hard on the game. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered also won “Best Remake/Remaster.” You can also check out all the results of the 2026 Golden Joystick Awards.

Next year, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered gets a new DLC, Songs of the Past, the final chapter in Geralt’s story, which takes him to a new region, Letten. It was recently revealed that CD Projekt RED used AI for Geralt’s voice, with the consent of the voice actor, Jacek Rozenek. The DLC is also believed to set up events of The Witcher 4.

The Witcher 4 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 and confirmed to release in 2028.
